This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/465,888, filed on Aug. 22, 2014, which claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/870,301, filed on Aug. 27, 2013, the content of each of which is relied upon and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The disclosure relates to a glass for use as a large format cover glass. More particularly, the invention relates to an ion exchangeable glass for such applications. Even more particularly, the disclosure relates to an ion exchangeable glass having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is sufficiently high for use as a large format cover glass.

Glasses are used in as protective covers for appliances such as LCD displays. In some applications, such displays are supported by an outer frame, typically made of a metal, steel, or alloy. As the display size increases (e.g., 55 inch diagonal), it is critical that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the glass match that of the frame material, otherwise the glass will be subjected to various stresses that may cause distortion or failure. None of the commercially available glasses that are presently in use meet this requirement.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Ion exchangeable glasses having coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) at least about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ are provided. The glasses comprise SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, K₂O, and, in some embodiments, MgO. The glasses undergo rapid ion exchange, for example, in a molten KNO₃ salt bath to a depth of layer of greater than 30 microns in less than 2 hours at temperatures of 370° C. to 390° C. When ion-exchanged to a depth of layer between 30 to 50 microns, the glasses exhibit a Vickers median/radial crack initiation threshold exceeding 15 kilograms force (kgf). The glasses are fusion formable (i.e., the liquidus temperature is less than the 160 kP temperature) and, in some embodiments, compatible with zircon (i.e., the zircon breakdown temperature is greater than the 35 kP temperature of the glass).

Accordingly, one aspect of the disclosure is to provide a glass comprising SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, and greater than about 1 mol % K₂O, wherein the glass has a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹.

A second aspect of the disclosure is to provide an ion exchanged glass comprising SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, and greater than about 1 mol % K₂O. The ion exchanged glass has a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ and has a Vickers crack initiation threshold of at least about 15 kgf.

A third aspect of the disclosure is to provide a method of ion exchanging a glass. The method comprises: providing a glass comprising SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, and greater than about 1 mol % K₂O and having a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹; providing an ion exchange bath, wherein the ion exchange bath comprises KNO₃ and is at a temperature in a range from about 370° C. to 390° C.; and ion exchanging the glass in the ion exchange bath for a time period of up to about two hours. The ion exchanged glass has a layer under a compressive stress, the layer extending from a surface of the glass to a depth of layer of at least about 30 μm.

These and other aspects, advantages, and salient features of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a glass sheet that has been ion exchanged; and

FIG. 2 a schematic representation of a method of ion exchanging a glass.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views shown in the figures. It is also understood that, unless otherwise specified, terms such as “top,” “bottom,” “outward,” “inward,” and the like are words of convenience and are not to be construed as limiting terms. In addition, whenever a group is described as comprising at least one of a group of elements and combinations thereof, it is understood that the group may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of any number of those elements recited, either individually or in combination with each other. Similarly, whenever a group is described as consisting of at least one of a group of elements or combinations thereof, it is understood that the group may consist of any number of those elements recited, either individually or in combination with each other. Unless otherwise specified, a range of values, when recited, includes both the upper and lower limits of the range as well as any ranges therebetween. As used herein, the indefinite articles “a,” “an,” and the corresponding definite article “the” mean “at least one” or “one or more,” unless otherwise specified. It also is understood that the various features disclosed in the specification and the drawings can be used in any and all combinations.

As used herein, the terms “glass article” and “glass articles” are used in their broadest sense to include any object made wholly or partly of glass. Unless otherwise specified, all compositions are expressed in terms of mole percent (mol %). Coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) are expressed in terms of 10⁻⁷/° C. and represent a value measured over a temperature range from about 20° C. to about 300° C., unless otherwise specified.

As used herein, the term “liquidus temperature,” or “T^(L)” refers to the temperature at which crystals first appear as a molten glass cools down from the melting temperature, or the temperature at which the very last crystals melt away as temperature is increased from room temperature. As used herein, the term “165 kP temperature” or “T^(165kP)” refers to the temperature at which the glass or glass melt has a viscosity of 160,000 Poise (P), or 160 kiloPoise (kP). As used herein, the term “35 kP temperature” or “T^(35kP)” refers to the temperature at which the glass or glass melt has a viscosity of 35,000 Poise (P), or 35 kiloPoise (kP).

It is noted that the terms “substantially” and “about” may be utilized herein to represent the inherent degree of uncertainty that may be attributed to any quantitative comparison, value, measurement, or other representation. These terms are also utilized herein to represent the degree by which a quantitative representation may vary from a stated reference without resulting in a change in the basic function of the subject matter at issue. Thus, a glass that is “substantially free of MgO, for example,” is one in which MgO is not actively added or batched into the glass, but may be present in very small amounts as a contaminant.

Vickers crack initiation thresholds described herein are determined by applying and then removing an indentation load to the glass surface at a rate of 0.2 mm/min. The maximum indentation load is held for 10 seconds. The indentation cracking threshold is defined at the indentation load at which 50% of 10 indents exhibit any number of radial/median cracks emanating from the corners of the indent impression. The maximum load is increased until the threshold is met for a given glass composition. All indentation measurements are performed at room temperature in 50% relative humidity.

Compressive stress and depth of layer are measured using those means known in the art. Such means include, but are not limited to, measurement of surface stress (FSM) using commercially available instruments such as the FSM-6000, manufactured by Luceo Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), or the like, and methods of measuring compressive stress and depth of layer are described in ASTM 1422C-99, entitled “Standard Specification for Chemically Strengthened Flat Glass,” and ASTM 1279.19779 “Standard Test Method for Non-Destructive Photoelastic Measurement of Edge and Surface Stresses in Annealed, Heat-Strengthened, and Fully-Tempered Flat Glass,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Surface stress measurements rely upon the accurate measurement of the stress optical coefficient (SOC), which is related to the birefringence of the glass. SOC in turn is measured by those methods that are known in the art, such as fiber and four point bend methods, both of which are described in ASTM standard C770-98 (2008), entitled “Standard Test Method for Measurement of Glass Stress-Optical Coefficient,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, and a bulk cylinder method.

Referring to the drawings in general and to FIG. 1 in particular, it will be understood that the illustrations are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosure or appended claims thereto. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, and certain features and certain views of the drawings may be shown exaggerated in scale or in schematic in the interest of clarity and conciseness.

Described herein is an ion exchangeable glass having a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that may be used as a large format cover glass. The glass (also referred to herein as “high CTE glass”) is also capable of undergoing ion exchange at a rate that is greater than that of similar glasses. Once ion exchanged, the glass exhibits high resistance to cracking, as measured by Vickers indentation.

The high CTE glasses described herein comprise SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, and K₂O. In some embodiments, the glass consists essentially of or comprises from about 57 mol % to about 75 mol % SiO₂ (i.e., 57 mol %≤SiO₂≤75 mol %); from about 6 mol % to about 17 mol % Al₂O₃ (i.e., 6 mol %≤Al₂O₃≤17 mol %); from about 2 mol % to about 7 mol % P₂O₅ (i.e., 2 mol %≤P₂O₅≤7 mol %); from about 14 mol % to about 17 mol % Na₂O (i.e., 14 mol %≤Na₂O≤17 mol %); and greater than about 1 mol % to about 5 mol % K₂O (i.e., 1 mol %<K₂O≤5 mol %). In some embodiments, the glass consists essentially of or comprises from about 57 mol % to about 59 mol % SiO₂ (i.e., 57 mol %≤SiO₂≤59 mol %); from about 14 mol % to about 17 mol % Al₂O₃ (i.e., 14 mol %≤Al₂O₃≤17 mol %); from about 6 mol % to about 7 mol % P₂O₅ (i.e., 6 mol %≤P₂O₅≤7 mol %); from about 16 mol % to about 17 mol % Na₂O (i.e., 16 mol %≤Na₂O≤17 mol %); and greater than about 1 mol % to about 5 mol % K₂O (i.e., 1 mol %<K₂O≤5 mol %). In certain embodiments, the glass further comprises up to about 2 mol % MgO (i.e., 0 mol %≤MgO≤2 mol %) and/or up to about 1 mol % CaO (i.e., 0 mol %≤CaO≤1 mol %). In some embodiments, the glass is substantially free of MgO. In some embodiments, the glass is substantially free of B₂O₃. Compositions, strain points, anneal points, and softening points of non-limiting examples of these glasses are listed in Table 1.

Silica (SiO₂) is the primary network former in the glasses described herein. In some embodiments, these glasses comprise from about 57 mol % to about 75 mol % SiO₂. Higher amounts (e.g., greater than about 60 mol %) of silica tend to lower the coefficient of thermal expansion. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the glasses comprise from about 57 mol % to about 59 mol % SiO₂.

Alumina (Al₂O₃) primarily facilitates ion exchange. In addition, Al₂O₃ suppresses phase separation. In some embodiments, the glasses described herein include from about 6 mol % to about 17 mol % Al₂O₃. In other embodiments, these glasses comprise greater than about 13 mol % Al₂O₃, and, in some embodiments, from about 14 mol % to about 17 mol % Al₂O₃.

The presence of alkali metal oxides Na₂O and K₂O increases the CTE of the glass. K₂O plays a primary role in increasing CTE, followed by Na₂O. However, the presence of K₂O tends to lower compressive stress when the glass is ion exchanged and lowers the temperature at which zircon breaks down (T^(breakdown)) in the presence of the glass melt. The glasses described herein, in some embodiments, comprise greater than about 1 mol % K₂O. In some embodiments, the glass comprises greater than about 1 mol % to about 5 mol % K₂O. The presence of Na₂O in the glass enhances the ion exchangeability of the glass. In some embodiments, the glass comprises from about 14 mol % to about 17 mol % Na₂O and, in other embodiments, from about 16 mol % to about 17 mol % Na₂O. The glass may, in some embodiments, further comprise other alkali metal oxides (Li₂O, Rb₂O, Cs₂O), but these oxides either inhibit ion exchange, result in lower surface compressive stress in the ion exchange glass, or are relatively expensive. In some embodiments, the glass comprise less than about 1.5 mol % Li₂O, and, in certain embodiments, is free or substantially free of Li₂O.

The alkaline earth oxide MgO promotes ion exchange of the glass and increases the surface compressive stress in the ion exchanged glass, but tends to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass. In some embodiments, the glasses described herein comprise up to about 2 mol % MgO. In certain embodiments, the glass is free or substantially free of MgO. CaO tends to inhibit ion exchange and decreases the CTE of the glass. Accordingly, the glass may comprise up to about 1 mol % CaO.

In some embodiments, the total amount of alkali metal oxides (R₂O) and alkaline earth oxides (R′O) in these glasses is greater than about 18 mol % (i.e., R₂O+R′O>18 mol %).

The presence of P₂O₅ in the glass promotes ion exchange of the glass by increasing the diffusivity of certain cations such as, for example, K⁺. in addition, P₂O₅ tends to increase the temperature at which zircon breaks down (T^(breakdown)) in the presence of the glass melt. In some embodiments, the glasses described herein comprise from about 2 mol % to about 7 mol % P₂O₅. In some embodiments, the glass comprises greater than about 5 mol % P₂O₅ to about 7 mol % P₂O₅; and, in certain embodiments, from about 6 mol % to about 7 mol % P₂O₅.

The glasses described herein have coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of at least about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹. In other embodiments, the CTE is at least about 95×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹, and in still other embodiments, at least about 100×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹. In certain embodiments, the CTE is in a range from about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ up to about 100×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹, and, in other embodiments, from about 90×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ up to about 110×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹. In other embodiments, the CTE is in a range from about 95×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ up to about 100×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹ and, in some embodiments up to about 105×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹. CTEs determined for the glasses listed in Table 1 are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Substituting K₂O for MgO in the glass tends to increase the CTE of the glass, as illustrated by example 6 in Tables 1 and 2. Examples 6, 7, and 8 in Tables 1 and 2 demonstrate the ability to “tune in” or “tailor” CTE by adjusting the amount of K₂O in the glass. Because it has the highest Al₂O₃ and lowest K₂O concentrations of these three glasses, example 6 will have the highest compressive stress when ion exchanged. Examples 9, 10, and 11 show the effect of substituting MgO for Al₂O₃ on CTE. Glasses in the series of examples 12-14 demonstrate the effect on CTE of the transition from a “base” glass composition that contains MgO and a lesser amount of K₂O (example 12) to a glass that contains K₂O and is substantially free of MgO (example 14). Glasses in the series 15 to 20 illustrate the effect on CTE of the transition from a base glass that contains K₂O and is substantially MgO-free (example 15) to a glass that contains MgO and a lesser amount of K₂O (example 20).

The glass glasses described herein are fusion formable; i.e., the glasses have liquidus temperatures T^(L) that allow them to be formed by the fusion draw method or by other down-draw methods known in the art. In order to be fusion formable, the liquidus temperature of a glass should be less than the 160 kP temperature T^(160kP) of the glass (i.e., T^(L)<T^(160P)).

The hardware used in the fusion draw process, such as the isopipe, is often made from zircon. If the temperature at which the zircon in the isopipe breaks down to form zirconia and silica (also referred to herein as the “breakdown temperature” or “T^(breakdown)”) is less than any temperature seen on the isopipe, the zircon will break down to form silica and zirconia and, as a result, the glass formed by the fusion process will contain zirconia inclusions (also referred to as “fusion line zirconia”). It is therefore desirable to form the glass temperatures that are too low to decompose zircon and create zirconia, and thus prevent the formation of zirconia defects in the glass. Alternatively, the isopipe may be made of other refractory materials, such as alumina, thus eliminating the breakdown of zircon as a factor in the fusion draw process.

Because fusion is essentially an isoviscous process, the highest temperature seen by the glass corresponds to a particular viscosity of the glass. In those standard fusion-draw operations known in the art, this viscosity is about 35 kP, and the temperature at which this viscosity is attained is referred to as the 35 kP temperature, or T^(35kP).

In some embodiments, the high CTE glasses described herein are compatible with zircon, and T^(breakdown)>T^(35kP). For example, the composition of sample 6 (Table 1) meets the CTE requirements for these glasses, but is not zircon compatible, since the 35 kP temperature exceeds the zircon breakdown temperature, as shown in Table 2. In order to make the glass zircon compatible, the 6 composition may be modified to replace about 1 mol % of the Al₂O₃ with MgO as shown in the composition of sample 30. In order to make the glass zircon compatible, the composition of sample 6 has been modified to substitute about 1 mol % MgO for the Al₂O₃ present in the glass, as shown in the composition of sample 30 in Table 1. According to zircon breakdown models, the zircon breakdown temperature T^(breakdown) will either be unchanged or slightly increase as a result of the substitution of MgO for Al₂O₃. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, this slight change in composition reduces the 35 kP temperature T^(35kP) of the glass from 1244° C. to 1211° C. Assuming that the zircon breakdown temperature remains unchanged at 1215° C., this glass is considered to be zircon compatible. The substitution of MgO and Al₂O₃ does not substantially change the CTE or, when ion exchanged, the compressive stress (CS), depth of layer (DOL), and Knoop indentation threshold values of the glass. Glass sample 28, for example, is very close to the composition of sample 30, and thus demonstrates that values for CTE, CS, DOL, and indentation threshold (Tables 3a and 3b) of the glass are retained when MgO is substituted for Al₂O₃. Density, T^(L), T^(160P), T^(35kP), and T^(breakdown) for selected examples listed in Table 1 are listed in Table 2.

In some embodiments, the glasses described herein are ion exchanged using those means known in the art. In one non-limiting example, the glass is immersed in a molten salt bath containing an alkali metal cation such as, for example, K⁺, which is larger than the Na⁺ cation present in the glass. Means other than immersion in a molten salt bath may be used to ion exchange of the glass. Such means include, but are not limited to, the application of a paste or gel containing the cation to be introduced into the glass to at least one surface of the glass.

The ion exchanged glass has at least one surface layer that is under a compressive stress (CS), as schematically shown in FIG. 1. Glass 100 has a thickness t, first surface 110, and second surface 112. Glass 100, in some embodiments, has a thickness t of up to about 2 mm, in other embodiments, to about 1 mm, in other embodiments, up to 0.7 mm, in still other embodiments, up to about 0.5 mm. Glass 100 has a first layer 120 under a compressive stress (“compressive layer”) extending from first surface 110 to a depth of layer d₁ into the bulk of the glass article 100. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, glass 100 also has a second compressive layer 122 under compressive stress extending from second surface 112 to a second depth of layer d₂. Glass 100 also has a central region 130 that extends from d₁ to d₂. Central region 130 is under a tensile stress or central tension, which balances or counteracts the compressive stresses of layers 120 and 122. The depths of layer d₁, d₂ of first and second compressive layers 120, 122 protect the glass 100 from the propagation of flaws introduced by sharp impact to first and second surfaces 110, 112 of glass 100, while the magnitude of the compressive stress in first and second compressive layers 120, 122 minimizes the likelihood of a flaw penetrating through the depth d₁, d₂ of first and second compressive layers 120, 122.

In some embodiments, the ion exchanged glass described herein has a compressive layer extending from a surface of the glass to a depth of layer of at least about 30 μm and, in certain embodiments, the depth of layer is in a range from about 30 μm up to about 50 μm. The compressive layer(s) of the glass, in some embodiments, are under a compressive stress of at least about 700 MPa, and, in other embodiments, at least about 800 MPa when ion exchanged to a depth of layer of at least about 30 μm. Tables 3a and 3b list compressive stress CS, depth of layer DOL, and Vickers crack indentation threshold after ion exchange in a molten KNO₃ salt bath at 390° C. and 370° C., respectively, for glass compositions listed in Table 1. Unless otherwise provided in Table 2, the stress optical coefficient (SOC) for the ion exchanged glasses listed in Tables 3a and 3b is 30.1.

The high CTE glasses described herein also undergo rapid ion exchange. The lower CS, higher rate of diffusivity, and higher indentation threshold suggest a more open network for these high CTE glasses. For example, the present glass may ion exchanged in an ion exchange bath comprising molten KNO₃ at a temperature in a range from about 370° C. to about 390° C. to a depth of layer of greater than 30 μm in less than two hours. In a particular example, sample 6 (Table 1) ion-exchanges to compressive stress of 820 MPa and 50 μm depth of layer when immersed in molten KNO₃ at 390° C. for 1 hour (Table 3a).

The ion exchanged glasses described herein have a Vickers crack initiation threshold of at least about 15 kilograms force (kgf); in other embodiments, at least 20 kgf; and, in still other embodiments, at least about 30 kgf. In some embodiments, the Vickers crack initiation threshold of the ion exchanged glass is at least 30 kgf, in other embodiments, at least 40 kgf, and, in still other embodiments, the Vickers crack initiation threshold is at least 50 kgf. In certain embodiments, the Vickers crack initiation threshold is in a range from about 30 kgf up to about 50 kgf. Vickers crack indentation data for glasses compositions in Table 1 are listed Table 3a and 3b.

In another aspect, a method of ion exchanging a glass is also provided. The steps in the method are schematically represented in FIG. 2. Method 200 includes a first step 210 in which a glass comprising SiO₂, Al₂O₃, P₂O₅, and K₂O and having a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least 95×10⁻⁷° C.⁻¹, as described hereinabove, is provided. In step 220, an ion exchange bath comprising or consisting essentially of KNO₃ is provided. The ion exchange bath may contain other salts such as, for example, NaNO₃, or may contain only or consist essentially of KNO₃. The ion exchange bathe is maintained at a temperature in a range from about 370° C. to 390° C. throughout the process. The glass is then ion exchanged in the ion exchange bath for a time period of up to about two hours (step 230), after which time the ion exchanged glass has a layer under a compressive stress, the layer extending from a surface of the glass to a depth of layer of at least about 30 μm and, in some embodiments, the depth of layer is in a range from about 30 μm up to about 50 μm. The layer(s) of the glass, in some embodiments, are under a compressive stress of at least about 700 MPa, and, in other embodiments, at least about 800 MPa.

In some embodiments, the ion exchanged glass has a Vickers crack initiation threshold of at least about 30 kgf and, in certain embodiments, the Vickers crack initiation threshold is in a range from about 30 kgf up to about 50 kgf.
